It looks so small on the outside but it's a big establishment. Based on aesthetics it looks really amazing. Our bartender was really nice and charismatic, talking to everyone at the bar table. My girlfriend loved the smokiness of their drink and I liked my espresso martini. They weren't too strong, and a bit on the pricier side. It wasn't one of the best espresso martinis I've had, but decently tasty.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was so disappointing that I feel compelled to…read moreshare it. From the moment we arrived, we felt unfairly judged. As the hostess walked away from our table, she commented that our group was going to be "nothing but a problem." The basis for that assumption? One member of our party had simply helped clear and organize the table to make the seating process easier and faster for the staff. Yes, we were a lively group. We were on vacation, having a great time at Disney, laughing and enjoying each other's company. What we were not was intoxicated. The situation escalated when one of our friends was accused of being drunk and our entire party of 10 was asked to leave. The problem is that she wasn't intoxicated at all. What makes this especially troubling is that our friend has worked incredibly hard to maintain her sobriety and recently celebrated 12 months alcohol-free through AA. To be publicly accused of being drunk after reaching such a significant milestone was humiliating, heartbreaking, and completely unnecessary. When we brought our concerns to the General Manager, Scott, we expected leadership. We expected someone who would take a moment to assess the situation, listen to both sides, and use his own judgment. Instead, he simply stated that he trusted his employees and made no effort to independently evaluate what had happened. A manager's job isn't to blindly accept accusations. A manager's job is to gather facts, assess the situation, and make informed decisions. In this case, Scott failed to do that. As a result, the restaurant lost a party of 10 customers. More importantly, they deeply hurt someone who has spent the last year fighting for her sobriety. That's the part of this experience we won't forget. Everyone makes mistakes. Great restaurants acknowledge them, learn from them, and treat people with dignity. Unfortunately, this experience was defined by assumptions, poor judgment, and a complete lack of empathy from both the staff and management.

AbracadaBar is a lounge/bar located at Disney's Boardwalk resort. It is dark inside, themed to…read moremagicians, and a new favorite for myself and my wife. To get here there are a few ways. You cannot park at the Boardwalk without a reservation and this does not take reservations. I would recommend a bus from Disney Springs, or cut through the park if you have a pass. You can also park at Studios and take the Skyliner to EPCOT and then walk over or boat to Boardwalk. It is not the easiest to get here but you can do it. Inside they offer bar seating and then a couple of high-top tables and then couches and bench tables. There is a server that will come to you if you are not at the bar. The theme is magicians and magic, they have pictures on the walls that move and change, everything has a magic theme. There is also props and such with the same magician theme. It is not super big and can get busy, but we have usually had a good chance to get a seat. We do go early though, we have not been here late in the evening. You can also grab a drink to go which a lot of people do. It is between Flying Fish and Trattoria Al Forno restaurants, so a lot of people will sit in here waiting or grab a drink before dinner. Some of their drinks are interesting with a couple trying to stay with the magic theme, however, if you don't like any of the drinks, you can just order your own. They have a pretty well stocked bar serving beer, wine, and many different types of liquor. I personally enjoy ordering my own and always go for an espresso martini and a lemon drop martini. There is also food available from 5:00pm to 10:00pm but only 3 options. This is designed as a snack, you are not getting a meal here. My favorite items is the Lump Crab Fries which has Wasabi Aioli, Doenjang, and Tobiko for $17.00. This was a huge portion of crispy thin fries, topped with tons of crab and then drizzled with sauce. The crab was fantastic, really good and did not have a fishy taste which sometimes you get. I would highly recommend them. We will go back for these, they are that good! As we get older we are discovering the more adult things in Disney such as lounges as opposed to riding rides. If you can fit this in, I would highly recommend checking it out. The drinks are strong, they are good and very delicious. ACES!

The Edison is one of a handful of really well done themed restaurants in Disney Springs. From the…read moreawesome exterior, to the super cool interior with its electric company theming, it is a really cool place to visit. The cocktails and bar on the first (2nd technically) floor was really great and affords you some great views. The lower level is where all the dining and live music happens and it is well done as well. Where things get mixed is the food. We had the gigantic pretzel, corn bread and biscuits, two Edison Burgers, the PBB sandwich, and our table mates ordered the steak and salmon. In general the burgers were good, though one of ours was missing half the bottom bun and the rest of the bun was really stale, and the sandwich lacked flavor and was a bit one note. Our dinner guests mentioned the steak was really good but the salmon was just okay. Our waiter Garret was pretty good, it wasn't overly busy but he did seem to struggle just a bit keeping up with his tables and there were times when we had to reach out to passing staff for silverware or refills. But, in general it was an okay time. In the future I'd probably skip the food and stick to drinks and enjoying the atmosphere.

I should've taken more pictures but only have the one of the croissant breakfast sandwich. What I didn't expect from this sandwich was that the hash brown was on it instead of on the side! It was such a pleasant surprise as you bite down through the layers of egg, cheese, bacon, hashbrown, and guacamole. I never thought of those things together but it was fantastic! I enjoyed every bite. I also love a great thick and creamy grits and they were the perfect side to go with this sandwich. The service is always great here, they're very attentive and that's what keeps us coming back. So next time you're on the hunt for a new spot for brunch, consider Wine Bar George.

Hello There! MAY THE…read moreFORCE BE WITH YOU My partner and I were excited to finally secure a res at Oga's Cantina at Hollywood Studios. We made many attempts at Disneyland in the past, and we finally lucked out on our trip to Florida last year. Almost as great as making the Kessel Run in twelve parsecs! DO. OR DO NOT. THERE IS NO TRY. After securing our res, we made sure to plan our day carefully around our res. We didn't want to miss this opportunity since a visit to Oga's had eluded us for so long. We checked in for our res, and patiently waited for our name to be called. Just an FYI: guests, storm troopers, bounty hunters, Jedi Knights, Pilots, Resistance fighters, and members of the Galactic Senate have only 45 minutes to partake in their drinks and snacks. I FIND YOUR LACK OF FAITH DISTURBING. The host took us into the Cantina and showed us to our "place" at the bar. There are other areas where guests were grouped: various tables and booths in the space, as well as standing only areas, with one of them being the bar. The bartender directed us to the menus, and we took time looking them over while also taking in our new surroudings. With such limited time, we decided on only ordering 1 drink each as we didn't want to rush, and we also wanted to enjoy this experience. In the end, ordered the Jedi Mind Trick and the Outer Rim. THESE AREN'T THE DROIDS YOU'RE LOOKING FOR. While we waited for our drinks, we walked around the space, which to be honest isn't very large. For some reason, I expected Death Star proportions, but really the entire space could fit into the Millennium Falcon comfortably. There is also a "DJ" who plays the latest tunes/songs from across the galaxy. The drinks were dropped off, and they were ok, nothing life altering TBH. While we sipped our drinks, we literally got a front row seat of their bar operations: sadly, all the drinks are pre-mixed, which I did not expect; but honestly I didn't know what to expect. We later realised and accepted that this method was the most efficient way to allow guests (daily) to have this experience. IT'S A TRAP. Overall, this visit to Oga's Cantina was just ok. Service was also just ok. For this padawan learner, this was a one and done for me.

As with each of the land pavilions, the staff members are from various regions in Italy and typically work on a temporary basis. Three must-try small plates are recommended for my wife and me. The first is the Polipo Grigliato, featuring grilled Mediterranean octopus served with potatoes, pancetta, Calabrian chili, caperberries, parsley, and lemon. It is topped with extra virgin olive oil and is a delightful treat for octopus enthusiasts. According to one of the waiters, it is the most requested small plate dish, ensuring the freshest octopus available. The second small dish is the Carpaccio di Manzo, featuring charred wagyu beef, arugula, Parmesan cheese, and lemon dressing. The wagyu is thinly sliced, so diners should prepare for a different culinary experience compared to a traditional steak. However, it is fresh and delectable. Finally, we order the Fior di Latte "Caprese," which consists of fresh, melt-in-your-mouth mozzarella cheese paired with a salad of red and yellow grape tomatoes, balsamic emulsion, and extra virgin olive oil. It is an exquisite and flavorful dish. Walk-up reservations are a must as it does get busy.

Yes, technically it's a steakhouse. But as a pescatarian, I treated the menu like a seafood scavenger hunt. I got the tuna, crudo, anything that once touched the ocean. Also, and this is critical, the French fries. You cannot walk into a place this fancy and forget the fries. That would be a personality flaw. Service is that over the top Waldorf style where someone appears instantly when you think about needing water. They are in your thoughts.

Just disappointing after seeing so many rave reviews and news coverage…read more We ordered the prime dry aged ribeyes for a splurge meal and some of their best red wines, along with mushroom and bread appetizers. The steak was ok at best. The cookery seemed good but the quality of meat did not feel good and the dry aged flavor wasn't worth it. The mushrooms too just weren't that good and felt like there was a stick of butter and oil inside. Could be due to cookery too since mushrooms need to be cooked with a bit of water during a sauté due to their water retention properties. Idk, it's still a good restaurant if you can afford it but I would never go back. At this price point, i just expected so much more.

Hmm... not your best pick for Father's Day…read more Despite the holiday, the restaurant was quite empty at 1pm. After our drink order, we didn't see our waitress for 20-30min. By the time we received our food, it had been well over an hour. We were a group of six. Menu is quite bare and no pizza, which is only offered by their quick service. Their focaccia bread appetizer, pastas, and panini sandwiches were all noticeably flavorless. Salt and pepper not provided at the table for a quick fix. The pastas had very little meat with the meal. The shrimp salad had four pieces of shrimp (the added shrimp being an extra $10). The panini is a cold sandwich, not pressed. The pasta didn't taste exceptional or fresh. My campanelle pasta with broccoli and sausage lacked sauce, there was some form of broth that served as a sauce, but it tasted very diluted and didn't stay on the pasta as it was primarily water, resulting in flavorless pasta. The interior is beautiful and peaceful, with large windows overlooking the water and vintage music playing. The service was kind. The lengthy wait, expensive prices, and bland food make Maria & Enzo's not your best option at Disney Springs. I've been to multiple Disney Springs restaurants and this is the first to disappoint. I've heard better reviews for Maria & Enzo's Hideaway, a separate space next to the primary restaurant, so perhaps try a visit there instead.
